Punta Chivato after Newton


Good Morning all. It's gonna be a busy day and as I get info and Photos I'll try to post them here. Basically I have only noticed that things are wet and no wind damage but I haven't been away from my home yet but will in a short while. I'm trying to work with photobucket but it is not working as it normally does and either is exceptionally slow or just cancels the upload.

Still no photos, damn photobucket.
Here is an update on Hotelito fro Joe D
"The partner of Gene Layton who has the trailer to the east of the boat ramp ( I believe his name is Steel ) Has or had owned a restaurant in Huntington Beach has bought the holitela  and restaurant. I have heard from ( Ken Wright ) that the new owner intends to add a solar system with battery storage for the ability to have a longer open season. I think the opening sometime in October. I also heard the Victor may be retained as a cook? "

I just got back from a ride to fish camp. Checked around all the homes and as luck has it there is NO obvious damage. No roof tiles missing! No windows blown in/out. The beach is really beautiful and very clean. I noticed when I returned the water is really dirty now. Probable from Mulege. But I don't see the junk floating around like usual. Hope that means they weathered the storm well. There is some erosion in the usual places and some front yards got flooded but not nearly as much as any other big storm.
I'm sure the road is not passable at this point. I'll make it out there this afternoon. Hopefully the water is down and repairs will be easy.

Thanks for the updates, Russ. Good to hear there is no apparent damage. Let's hope Mulege did well, too.

Thanks also for the info on Hotelito. It would be wonderful to get a longer season from the restaurant.

BigBearRider, checked your place. Looks really clean.
Just got a Chivato road report from Mike. He drove out to check the estuary and had to stop in the muck 1/4 mile from it. Not close enough to see the estuary today.Maybe with a few days of drying Gorge will be able to get equipment in. Remember the last three times he got his equipment stuck. So be patient and he'll get her done. I'll try to post photo update for the next few days anyway. Mike's report from Chivato is that only one home had water inside, Powell's, he said it should be dry by days end. Also mentioned was that the taxi way at Flicks and also the other end where it always washes out are in bad shape. Other than that folks we dodged the big one! Hope Mulege fared as well.

Thank you so much for the update, and for going all the way to fish camp! Glad things are okay in PC, hope Mulege and Santa Rosalia weathered okay - I did see some flooding video in Santa Rosalia on the TalkBaja.

I read that Medano Beach in Cabo was washed away. Haven't seen any photos, but this is an area that is in the lee of Lands End. Seems to me that this would be the last place to be devastated by a hurricane, unless it had an usual trajectory. We've been in Cabo a number of times during hurricanes, and seen little to no damage to that beach.
